Israel's replacement for Weintraub will probably be Harel Srugo, a 31-year old non-pro ranked about 1000... Would this be the first time a player ranked this low will play a DCWG tie? At least we will come up with something from this tie... a world record...

I think Filip Prpic of Sweden had a similar ranking during last years tie against Serbia.
